FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and is perfect for cold weather. For extreme cold, consider layering them with another insulating layer.
Can I wear these directly against my skin?
Absolutely. Merino wool is known for its softness and is designed to be worn comfortably against the skin.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear them multiple times between washes, especially for casual use. Wash when they visibly appear dirty or have absorbed significant moisture.
What is the benefit of the rib knit surface?
The rib knit construction provides excellent flexibility and stretch, allowing for a comfortable fit and freedom of movement without the fabric losing its shape.
Are these leggings breathable?

Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. For initial wear, a quick wash might soften the fibers further. Merino wool is generally non-itchy, but individual sensitivities can vary.
Shrinkage after washing
Always adhere to the recommended 30°C wash temperature and avoid high heat in drying. Lay flat to dry without stretching. If slight shrinkage occurs, a gentle steam iron might help relax the fibers.
Pilling occurs
Some minor pilling is natural with fine wool fibers over time. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove any pills. Avoid excessive friction during washing and wear.
